So many questions but the one I really want Taylor to answer is how many takes of Down Bad she had to do before getting it right bc personally I would die from laughter every single time

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.

two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!

one could argue that spiderbit works so well because of the trust, the devotion, the communication etc etc, but i truly think it's due to their ability to commit to the bit together. that post that's like "my ideal partener is someone who will 'yes and' me no matter what"? yes that is about q!roier and q!cellbit and that's really what love is all about

Time-loop AU, but instead of being forced to redo a moment in life until the problem is fixed Jean gets thrown from universe to universe with the mission to save Marco.

Just that he always fails. No matter what he does, who he trusts, when he acts- he keeps failing. Marco always dies and Jean always finds the body first.

And Jean is tired. So many things happen at once, roles reverses and scenarios changed- he can't think straight. Dying means redoing the same scenario. Marco dying means doing another scenario. He doesn't know how to stop it. Doesn't know how to save Marco without dying in the process.

It is hell

Also who am I kidding, I wanna hear about your fae Etho!!

now ETHO. this is one I like to ponder

etho is one of those fae that really.... isn't even sure what he is. it's pretty evident that she's fae, I mean she's the most faeish arguably out of maybe All of the hermits. but it's hard to tell exactly what's going on with him

the one thing that's pretty clear is her court, very obviously winter. he does very much connect to the autumnal love of games, but this easily passes into the winter area, especially where winter court generally surrounds the mind's ability to manipulate the heart. etho is highly calculating, but it's all with emotion and laughter and well-used fear in mind. he is the perfect player of games, but she also taps into the spring love of art in how he thinks so deeply about color and contrast and all these things in his builds, she really loves getting deep into thought about the less concrete, the emotional

the thing that's less clear is his exact typing of fae. there's been an idea floated around that he could be a spriggan, (along with false, wels, and perhaps gem and hypno,) a kind of protector fae associated with great strength. however, this role is one that's... elusive to her. he certainly possesses a strange and complicated relationship with the desire to protect, and has the enhanced senses and physical prowess/awareness notable of spriggans, but it is rare for spriggans to be so mystical in their power. they're often grounded, forceful, and straight-forward, and etho is simply too shifty and mischevious, especially in his magics, to not have at least a bit of dissonance with the idea. he uses illusory magic typical of winter fae with extreme proficiency, and it's known that her masking is often magical instead of physical. many fae have supernatural connections to word and lies, and etho seems to have one of the most convoluted relationships, spinning strange tales in one moment and seeming unable to lie about the tiniest of things in the next. she's just confusing, honestly. and so it's far more likely to hear etho simply referred to as "trickster," opposed to any more specific type of fae. it's really pretty futile to try to pin her down, and definitely not all that helpful if you want to understand him

but weirdly enough, if you're another of those fae that isn't sure what you might be, you're likely to get pointed in etho's direction. he was the one who was able to spot gem as a spriggan, after she'd spent a long time wondering what her combination of features were for. she seems to know just about every species and designation under the sun and moon, and has yet to really be surprised yet. makes you wonder how long she's been around, really

Sakura gets a second point for being the first to complete the tree climbing at being better at chakra control, but at the same time it just feels like she was made good at it so no extra training segment time would have to be put into her getting good at it and it can be all about Sauce and Nart. Idk that feels too pessimistic but also could totally be true.

remembering that Caleb originally designed the Vault of Amber to carry corpses--specifically, he envisioned killing Astrid and Wulf, using their remains as stand-ins for his parents' dead bodies, and that's...a lot. But--

It was supposed to be for carrying corpses. For making them conveniently disappear. When the Nein talk about bringing Molly back to the Blooming Grove to give him a proper burial, Caleb starts ritually casting Vault of Amber. "To take him with us," he says. Because that's exactly what this spell is built for, to carry bodies. And while Molly's lying there lifeless, Caleb is right beside him, still concentrating on his spell.

I don't know. Something about how he built this portable coffin to carry his former lovers who betrayed him. Something about how he was going to keep Molly in there. Caleb still wanting to hold onto his Circus Man in some way. His magic wasn't enough to save him, but. For just a moment, he still wants to keep him close.

And then, before the spell can take hold, when he's still looking down at Mollymauk and truly believes him to be gone--miraculously, his eyes open--

Happy Birthday Sannie 💖 I love you 3000

Thank you for always putting a smile on my face every time I see you, and for always instilling good values and morals in Atiny, who love and respect you so much! I wrote a little message for the HBD San event but it feels like I could talk about him for hours without even repeating myself because he is that unique and one of a kind 💜 The way you take care of the members and take care of Atiny is literally unmatched and your work ethic, I'm sure everyone knows, is quite truly insane. Our Sannie, you've improved so much in not only your dancing and performing, but your vocals and your confidence and when I say I nearly shed a tear at the IU cover from the Choi brothers (🐻&🐱) it was because of how beautiful his voice is. Thank you for always giving 110% but remember to rest and spend time with your loved ones like you are now 😊 We love you to the moon and back, our mountain 🥰

Tell Shiber I said Hi 😆👋

Today is hubby’s grandma’s 90th birthday and if I could be like anyone, it would be that kind, loving, generous, resilient, take-no-shit, badass force of nature. I love that woman as if she was my own grandma, and I’m so glad my gremlins get to know their awesome GG. I hope we get as many more good years with her as we can.

LISTEN MOX AND NICK ARE WEIRD LITTLE CREATURES AND LIKE BEING WEIRD TOGETHER. i really did think it was crack-y 😂

I am old as BALLS so when I see someone say cracky I expect fourth wall breaking, hamsters as main characters, somebody romances a flower pot who rejects them verbally, a giant raccoon becoming god, levels of chaos. While yours was cracky, it was also weirdly realistic and that's what made it amazing. Seriously that was so good. I had a rough day surviving work, cuz I'm still so sick, so seeing that as I got in my car was like a reward for surviving the day. Thank you so much for writing it.
